What is the nature of world Anglicanism in a postcolonial, global
age? With talk of fragmentation constantly in the media, what does
it mean to be 'Anglican'? This book presents Anglicanism as a
conversation over time amongst a community of people held together
by sets of practices and beliefs. The first part describes the
emergence of Anglicanism and its foundations in older Christian
traditions. The second looks at Anglican practices within the
framework of changing understandings of mission, and focuses on
liturgy, patterns of engagement with others, organisation and power
in the church, and ministerial offices. There are two separate
chapters on the ordination of women and homosexuality in the public
life of the church. The third part, on beliefs, addresses the
central question of knowledge and authority in Anglicanism, as well
as ecclesiology, the nature of the church itself. A final chapter
looks to the future.
